I don't know if there is a platform co-op specifically for ride-sharing yet, but it's not out of the question.

The problem is that the co-operative model is not successfully funded in the initial phases. There is little infrastructure for worker-owned businesses in this country. There is little guidance for getting investment and start-up capital when the overall aim is to primarily put profits into owners' hands and not investors'.

We need a government that supports these efforts first. A good first step would be to pass first-right-of-refusal laws.
